This instrument can be serviced, adjusted and repaired without losing the validity of the CE-marking provided the
measuring equipment used is fulfilling the demands below, the adjustment procedure are followed and the
personnel is having the necessary qualifications approved by Interacoustics.
Before any kind of the calibration can take place, the AT235 must have been on power for at least 3-5 minutes in a
normal temperature milieu, and the instrument must be in the same milieu for a reasonable time.
While keeping <shift> and <Print> buttons down, switch power on at the rear panel of the instrument. By use of the
F keys enter password: 1 2 3 4 . The AT235 is now in software calibration menu.
If a printer is connected to the instrument is it possible to get a complete detailed description of the instrument set-
up.
While keeping <shift> and <Store> buttons down, switch power on at the rear panel of the instrument.
The AT235 has to kinds of calibration: hardware and software calibration. The software calibration can be done
without opening the instrument. When the instrument has been hardware calibrated, it must be followed by a
software calibration.

Please power off and on the instrument once, if the problem still occurs please see instruction below.
Before trying anything, please read the whole instruction and be aware thatthe instrument needs to be re-
calibrated no m ater w hat you do.
What happens if …
Note! This error is probably an indication of an unstable EEPROM IC so even though the system should work after
at total recovery it is recommended to change the IC.
In order to assure correct calibration of the audiometric equipment, it is important that the necessary measuring
equipment is used and that it is reliable and stable.
- Measuring amplifier with input for condenser microphone or a sound level meter, fulfilling the
demands of IEC 651 Type 1.
- Acoustics coupler, 6cc and 2cc fulfilling the demand of IEC 303 and IEC 126.
- 1” pressure field condenser microphone for the above-mentioned couplers, fulfilling the
demands of the IEC 1094-1.
- Manometer with a range from at least +300 to – 600 daPa and a accuracy of ± 5% of reading
or ± 5 daPa which ever is the greatest. Including a syringe (manual pump).
- The CAT40 calibration cavities (0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 ml)

- chain
General purpose frequency counter
- General purpose digital multimeter
- General purpose oscilloscope in order to trace and monitor signals
Ai r System
The safety valves and the pump system are adjusted in correct way from factory. Normally it should not be
adjusted, but if the pump tube has to be exchanged it is necessary to readjust the spring on the pump. Please
always use pre-cutted pump tubes ordered from Interacoustics.
If the instrument is out of calibration you can connect an external manometer and a syringe between the air
connection on the rear plate and the probe tube. Press the syringe until +300 daPa is reached and inspect the
manometer. If the pressure is stable the system is airtight.
Safety valve:
The safety valve must release the pressure then the pressure is out of limit. It means if the pressure is larger than
+500 daPa (± 100 daPa) or if the pressure is larger then –700 daPa (± 100 daPa).
Before the contra nut is fasten the screw has to bee turned three times clockwise to be sure that the system is and
will stay airtight.
Note! The hardware calibration is normally only done once in the instrument lifetime and at the factory.
Potentiometers (P) and measuringpoints (MP) refers to Mainboard Index page 38. Measurements are made with
reference to MP0, MP4 and MP15 (GND)
The DC-controlled amplifiers (IC4 and IC15) can be one of following types (SSM2018, THAT2181 or THAT2180).
The THAT2181 circuits need a calibration for harmonic distortion and in this case, two extra adjustments (P6, P7)
have to be carried out.
A distortion meter is necessary for calibration to minimum distortion.
Enter the Attenuator Calibration menu from the Calibration menu by pressing F5 – “Att”.

AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
Software Calibration
A software calibration must always be performed when the instrument has been opened for hardware calibration or
if an EEPROM error has occurred.
The calibration is a service calibration, which means, that if the instrument has changed its values during time or
because of manual chock, corrections for moderate changes in the software can be made by means of the figures
in the EEPROM.
To enter the calibration menus please switch off power – hold down shift while pressing Print key – turn on power
again. Hold the keys down until you can enter a password. The factory setting of the password is 1 2 3 4, but
dealer may have changed it in order to protect the calibration. If an EEPROM Error occurs during the power up,
press shift + print to continue to the password screen.
Notice!
For calibration of the Universal Transducer for both types of probetips, you must carry out the probe calibration
twice.
Repeat pages 17-21 after switching probe tip.
Probe Calibration
To enter this menu from the Calibration Menu Press “Probe” (F2).

Pressure Calibration
Looking at the picture you will see two lines (if the instrument is calibrated) in a diagram. The dotted line is the
calibration line that graphically gives you information regarding the calibration of the pressure. The normal line is an
average line and by comparing the two lines you can get quick overview of the pressure calibration. You can also
read the actual ADC values under Points if necessary.

DTR
All signals are measured on the IFC69 cable and seen from the Instrument.
Communication
Both the computer and the instrument can send out a request for information or send back requested information.
To make it easier to understand how the philosophy behind the RS232 communication standard works for an
instrument and a PC the following terms will be used. The part that request information will be called a Master and
the part who will send back requested information will be called a Slave.
Master Slave
RS232
communication
Data transmission between the Master and the Slave are using the following format.
“Recipient” and “sender” are revered for later use and can be ignored. Both the Recipient and the Sender are
consisting of two bytes each.
A data packet form a Master will always contain a Direction. This direction tells the slave if it has to store or to send
out the kind of data the header describes. The header is an indicator for the type of data and how the are
transmitted.
Control Codes
All information’s in the transmission between a Master and a Slave are controlled by control codes (see table 1).
A data packet from a Master will look like this with all its control codes:
https://es.scribd.com/document/400204608/AT235-Service-Manual Página 41 de 74
AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
STX Recipi US Sen US Directi SOH Head US Data US CRC Value EOT
ent der on er 5 digits
Direction can either be SO or SI. If It is a SO (shift out) direction the Master wants to send data into the slave and if
it is a SI (shift in) direction the Master wants to receive data.
A data packet from a Slave will look like this with all its control codes:
Note! When a Master is using a SO direction the slave will send back nothing! When the master uses CRC check,
the slave respond with OK or ERR.
Each time data is transmitted a US control code is added. Ex. 10 US 125 US .... With this construction it is always
possible to see when all bytes in a single data transmission is completed.
CRC Check
The Instrument supports CRC Check on the bytes received from the PC. If the data packet contains a CRC value
the Instrument calculates the CRC value of the bytes received and responds with OK or ERR. If the Instrument
responds with ERR, send the data packet again. The CRC value is calculated from the STX to and including the
EOT, the CRC value is added between the last US and EOT, and must always be 5 digits.
A header consists of a control code (SOH) and 6 bytes (header). Each header tells witch kind of data that follows
and how the data format is. The following table describes the different types of headers and their data format.
If the Master wants to send a sequence of headers, and do not want the Slave to respond on the EOT’s, the
headers is send with a Block Start in the beginning and a Block End at the end. The slave waits for the Block End,
before it processes the data. Similar when the Slave sends back data to the Master, it can pack the data headers in
between a Block Start and a Block End, to indicate when all the requested data is send.

Online Communication
Valid from software version AT235h 1.10108 and AT235 1.11108
The AT235 is capable to send information to the PC, whenever things change in the instrument and when data is
obtained from the probe. The online communication is enabled from the PC, because it only is used together with a
PC. The Online Communication is not completely implemented yet, so subject to change.

AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
When the AT235 is doing its normal measurements it is running in automated mode where everything is preset.
That why the menu is called "Auto impedance". There are three screens in this mode. One where "all" information
are put together (Tymp and Reflex mixed), one full screen with tymp (extended tymp) and one full screen with
reflex (extended reflex). When an automated session takes place the instrument switches to a menu without any
graphically interface called "Do Test". This is the control centre of the instrument where the list of tasks to perform
are placed and executed. Further more there are a "Do Tymp" menu and a "Do Reflex" menu also without
graphically interface that deals with the measuring of data. That's why the "menu" item changes during a
measurement.
Menu’s like EFT and Manual Reflex measurement uses the “Do Tymp” menu and the “Do Reflex” menu without the
“Do Test” menu.
The inside (both hardware and software) of the instrument is designed with two sound channels. This is necessary
when we need to produce both a probe tone and stimuli at the same time. The CPU is in control of a DSP with a
two channel Codex. When monitoring the state of the instrument you therefore needed to show the state of two
channels. The probe tone is always controlled from channel 2.

When using the online mode it is not advisable to use static headers that requests data to be send out of the
instrument (SI) at the same time. It will disturb the online transmissions from the instrument.
Most parameters send with the headers are send as text. Example : If the Right key is pressed the text “Right” is
send.
Cochlear Implant
For measuring on patients with Cochlear Implant, it is possible to select a menu through RS232, where the
compliance data is transmitted continuos to the host. The data format is 1000 = 1 ml and is transmitted in ASCII
with an US and an EOT at the end for each data, the sample rate is 226 Hz.
Communication in Windows
In this section sample code show how the communication could be made, it is using the ActiveX Control

User Setup
This is the description of the navigation in the User Setup in AT235 and which options can be changed from the
setup.
Tympanometry Setup
Start Pressure
Description Start Pressure indicates what pressure will be established as start out point for the pressure sweep.
Stop Pressure
Pump Speed
Factory Automatic (150 daPa/sec, 50 daPa/sec, 150 daPa/sec)
Range Minimum (17 daPa/sec), Medium (50 daPa/sec), Maximum (150 daPa/sec) or Automatic (150
daPa/sec, 50 daPa/sec, 150 daPa/sec).
Description A slow speed will be more time consuming, but may give more detailed information. The horizontally
displacement of the tympanogram peak in the sweeping direction caused by inherent hysteresis of
the system will be smaller with lower speed.
Automatic is a mode where sweep speed at the beginning will be Maximum (150 daPa/sec) and
when the gradient is smaller than 5 the speed will be slowed to Medium (50 daPa/sec). When the
peak is bigger than 5 again the speed will be set to Maximum (150 daPa/sec) again.
Compensation Mode
https://es.scribd.com/document/400204608/AT235-Service-Manual Página 54 de 74
AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
Description Mode is set to “Compensated” if you want to have the curve displayed at the floor of the coordinate
system. In “Non compensated” mode the tymp curve will be displayed including the ear canal
volume.
Gradient Unit
Description The gradient is an expression of the shape of the tymp curve. Narrow or wide.
If ml is selected the gradient will be calculated the following way: The program will go 50 daPa to
each side from compliance value and save the two ml values. The gradient is the average of the two
ml values subtracted from the compliance value.
If daPa is selected the gradient will be calculated the following way: The program searches from
each end of the tymp curve and stores the pressure where the point at the tymp curve is equal to
compliance value divided with 2. Gradient is equal to the two stored pressures subtracted from one
another.
If Off is selected the gradient box will be removed from the user interface.
Note that it is the same method for all 6 reflexes. If you want one reflex with one method and another reflex with
another method, use Reflex Test A and Reflex Test B.

Level
Description If Reflex Method is selected to Sequence an arrow will be put after the intensity value to indicate that
this is the start level.
In table 1 you will find that the factory test configuration will perform 4 of the 6 reflexes. Setting the last row to on/off
depending on what you want to start with can choose this.
Reflex Metho ds
The Reflex Method can be assigned to 4 different methods where three of the four methods have additional setup
points. In the following you can see what they do and how to set them up.
Fixed

AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
Method description
A fixed intensity reflex is one reflex taken at one intensity level like the one in Figure 7.
Method description
The Screening method is an auto test for detecting reflexes. Starting at level from the reflex table the automation
will do a reflex measurement and verify the reflex against the reflex sensitivity box (see “Reflex Sensitivity”). If the
reflex is bigger than the sensitivity box the test is done. If not the intensity level will increase with 10 dB and do
another reflex. This will continue until the reflex is bigger than the sensitivity box or until maximum intensity level
has been reached.
Auto (5 dB St eps)
https://es.scribd.com/document/400204608/AT235-Service-Manual Página 58 de 74
AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02
The auto test method is a bit different from the screening method. It presents a stimulus for a time of approximately
80 mS where after it verifies the compliance against the start compliance. If the difference is bigger than the size of
the reflex sensitivity test box (see “Reflex Sensitivity”), it performs a reflex measurement. The reflex is then tested
against the reflex sensitivity test box. If the reflex is outside the test box the reflex measurement is done. If not the
instrument performs the same test once again. If the search fails after second attempt the instrument will continue
the search with the screening method in 5 dB steps instead of the currently auto search. If the reflex intensity level
reaches maximum intensity level for the transducer the search is done accepting the reflex found.

Sequence
Method description
The sequence method gives the possibility of having up to 6 single reflexes in one Figure. The level from the table
is used as start level and the jump between each reflex can be set in “Level increase”. The screening method has
stop criteria so it stops the measurement if the reflex is equal to or bigger than the reflex sensitivity test box. The
function can be selected on or off and the level of sensitivity can be selected in the “Reflex Sensitivity” item.

matched and continue with the next sequence.
Reflex Sensitivity
Reflex sensitivi ty
When using reflex the automatic methods Automatic or Screening, the AT235 uses an algorithm to determined if a
reflex is okay or not. The level of sensitivity can be set with setup item “Reflex Sensitivity” where you can choose
between Sensitive, Normal or Robust. The AT235 has two different modes of leveling sensitivity : ml or % (can be
set in the Advanced User Setup) and depending on what method you will get different results. Look in the following
Figures for the difference.
When using auto search for reflexes the algorithms in the software will go on until intensity has reached maximum
level for the selected transducer at the give frequency. So the software in two ways can accept the reflex: the reflex

Reflex sensitivity in ml
The first reflex is okay because the reflex does not touch the test box. The two last reflexes is not okay according
to the algorithm but has been accepted because of maximum intensity level.
Reflex sensitivit y in %
All three reflexes are okay because none of them is inside or touching the test box.
The height of the test box when using % sensitivity depends on the size of the ear volume.
The sensitivity condition is used by the auto method, screening method and by the sequence method.
Note! The test box is not shown in the AT235 software. It only serves as examples of what sensitivity is and how
we do it.

The AT235 provides a tool for administrating the information stored in the setups. It can store, restore the setup
and initiate to factory settings either from this EEROM menu or restore setup data trough a key press during power
up.
When the setup of the instrument is done you can enter this menu and store all settings as an original setup. If a
user changes in some setup items and cannot get the instrument to work properly afterwards ask the person to
switch off power, hold down <shift>+<F4>, switch power on again and press “Yes” (F1) when the instrument asks
you to restore setup to original setup. By doing so you bring the setup back to the settings you stored before you
send it to the user.
You can also guide the user in to this EEPROM menu, but that requires you to tell the user the password.
Ferrites L1, L4, L6 and L7 are replaced with 0R resistors due to intermittent measurement errors after introducing
lead-free version of DSP.
All instruments shipped after 29.03.2006 have been modified, including some instruments with lower serial number
than 206321.
